'A staggering achievement, brilliantly enjoyable' Nadine
Gordimer
'A masterpiece' Sunday Times
'A novel of metamorphosis, hauntings, memories, hallucinations,
revelations, advertising jingles and jokes. Rushdie has the power
of description, and we succumb' The Times
'Damnably entertaining and fiendishly ingenious. One of the very
few current writers whose works are attempts at the great Bible,
"the bright book of life" ' London Review of Books
A great novelist, a master of perpetual storytelling.
